Ingredients
- 4 pieces Vegetarian chicken patties
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 2 medium Tomato
- 1 small Red onion
- 8 slices Pickled jalapeños
- 4 tablespoons Vegan mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Instructions
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and the red onion into thin rings. Set aside along with the lettuce leaves and pickled jalapeños.
In a small bowl, mix the vegan mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir well to create a spicy sauce and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook the vegetarian chicken patties as per the package instructions (typically 3-4 minutes per side) or until golden brown and heated through.
Toast the burger buns lightly in the skillet or toaster until slightly crisp.
Assemble the burgers: Spread a generous amount of the spicy sauce on the bottom half of each burger bun.
Place a lettuce leaf on top of the sauce, followed by a vegetarian chicken patty.
Top the patty with two slices of tomato, a few rings of red onion, and two slices of pickled jalapeños.
Spread a bit more spicy sauce on the top half of the bun and place it on top of the assembled burger.
Serve immediately with a side of fries or your favorite chips.
